Letters to be anagrammed:

Rules:
- Use all 81 (or 106) letters of the translation of the Morse Code in the Kryptos complex at the CIA
- It must include palimpsest
- It must include abscissa
- It must include directions for part 3 and something tangible for part 4
- It must be a believable message that could have been left for us by Sanborn and Scheidt

Kryptos - Beyond K4 
Please explain “It must include palimpsest”..
Palimpsest was the keyword for the Vigenere solution of part 1 of Kryptos.
p.s. its simple as abc
PALIMPSEST and ABSCISSA
Maybe the key is something like abc and kryptos, like first two? Anyway hope this helps.
How would this help? There’s no key to this one, it’s just rearrangement.
it could be some kind of key, since is a word play on the keys. Or maybe it hints that you need something like a Vigenère table. who knows.
It is very clever and I have to tip my hat to the original discoverer but it’s just one of many anagrams you can get from those two words, it’s not really a clue. Yeah, you could argue any anagrammed message from the Morse code is similarly coincidental but the idea was to see what folks could come up with and if it was really good then try to reverse engineer some function that would explain how you could retrieve it from the Morse code phrases. If you really want to wow me, figure out the keyword for K3 and make a similarly witty anagram with all 3.
